primer-design

Designs and audits PCR and RT-qPCR primers with Primer3, explicit thermodynamic conditions, reference-based off-target amplification searches, and traceable sequence coordinates. Use for designing primer pairs, checking existing primers, exon-junction or isoform-specific assays, variant masking, cloning tails, multiplex compatibility, and interpreting Primer-BLAST results. Includes bounded local in-silico PCR and BLAST screening; distinguishes computational candidates from experimentally validated assays.
Description from the SKILL.md front matter.

Install

GitHub CLI v2.90+ (Copilot by default)

gh skill install K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills primer-design

For Claude Code

gh skill install K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills primer-design --agent claude-code

For Codex

gh skill install K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills primer-design --agent codex

Commands follow each host's documentation (Any Agent Skills host (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot…) docs). gh skill needs GitHub CLI 2.90 or later and is in public preview.
